General Use

  • If you have any issues, call the IT Help Desk at 704-637-4666, email [email protected], or come see us in the first floor of Hoke Hall.
  • If the printer gives an error saying there is no paper, press "Status Monitor" in the bottom right, select the drawer that does have paper, then press "Ok".
  • To avoid confusion, remove the printer before moving to a different one.
